Swiss Battle Series set for $200?
on: October 10, 2009, 01:19:09 AM
OK, would you pay $200 for this set? Maybe add another $25 for S&H plus fees? I sure need to get my head outta eBay and look elsewhere for nice SAK's.

Absolutely!!  I would buy it for $200, but I don't have 200 in my Paypal account.

Well I know it hasn't shown up on eBay.CA. I would be all over that like a fat kid on a smarty.  :D

If you want to find out a little bit more about it check out the website where the photo resides for now. It went for $201. Not sure what kind of S&H fees but still that is a great price for a rare set all together like that.

Considering each of the knives alone go for $185, I would /happily/ pay $200 for the entire set. @_@

He does? o.O  The one site I had found had them listed for $275 each, which makes the price I procured them for was more than what I'd like. :/

OK, I am not saying Felinevet has or had them at any price but I have seen some go for around $65 each or so and that was for a single piece. I think Tim has seen them sell for close to that as well. I do not know what the MSRP value of this set was when new. Does anyone here know? :think: :tu:

How many of these were made? I have been looking for these and haven't been all that lucky in finding them.

In my opinion that is a very nice addition to a SAK collection. I think I would pay the 200 USD for it, well, 136 EUR.

Nice. I'd certainly pay $200 for those  :drool:
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

A couple of years ago I was able to get multiples of each one in wood presentation boxes from Vic. Silly me, I sold them for $35. each. $200 for the whole set presented like that is well worth it.

Just for reference, I found a German website selling a Battle Series set for 589 Euros.
